What an Explosion!

 

 

The Universe exploded into being

Billions of years ago,

It was a breakthrough in science

Every student needs to know.

 

What a horrendous explosion!

It was heard all around the world,

Louder even than Mount Krakatoa

The loudest ever heard.

 

Could be 15 to 18 billion years

Give or take a billion

That Big Bang in all its glory

Instantaneously took dominion.

 

From here it was plain sailing

As things fell into place,

Well…over time, that is,

As far as scientists could trace.

 

King Time was the agency

Billions and billions of years,

It is amazing what time can do

And what it can make appear.

 

With God it is instantaneous

But with time, it will take some time

Like billions and billions of years

As so-called scientists opine.

 

 

 

But what an explosion it was!

An explosion out of nowhere

Followed by the management of time

Given billions and billions of years.

 

The problem with us today

Is that we do not have the time

But if we had you’d be amazed

We’d create a human mind.

 

We could get a coconut shell

And mount it on a pole

And with the right kind of explosion

Accomplish this impossible goal.

 

Of course, that is, with time

For we cannot leave time out,

With time as the critical factor

We could erase all doubt.

 

Time is the miracle worker,

With time anything can be achieved,

Combined with time it’s no wonder

How many Big Bang deceived.

 

 

In the competition of origins

It’s Big Bang versus God!

And the winner was duly declared

That Big Bang was the first cause.

 

All it needed was time:

Billions and billions of years

And out of nothing suddenly exploded

All that you see appear.

 

Intelligent design, my foot,

Who needs a Supreme Designer?

With Big Bang along with time

All our queries are answered.

 

 

What a controlled explosion!

An explosion that was organized

Unlike the kind we’ve come to know,

This one was cleverly disguised.

 

There was nothing to explode

As in the case of Mount Krakatoa

But for an explanation of origins

Big Bang is where to go.

 

And what an explosion it was!

A loud explosion indeed

But as to what the initial cause was

Of this we are still in need.
